CORAL GABLES — In his darkest moments while recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus, late at night when sleep failed to come, Don Chaney Jr. questioned himself.
“I was scared I was going to give up on myself,” Chaney said. “I was like, ‘Bro, I don’t know if I can do this.’ I never had an injury like this. I’ve had a shoulder (injury); that’s nothing. But an injury that can take a year or more to come back from — I was like, ‘Bro, I don’t think I can do this.’”
The knee injury, which he suffered in the second game of the 2021 season, cost Chaney most of his second year at Miami.
